Beschreibungen/Notizen
Contributors to this fiftieth anniversary volume of STS were asked to describe our early involvement at the beginning stages of sign language linguistics. Til briefly summarize my engagement from 1970 to 1980 before probing a much more interesting question: What lay behind William Stokoe's own leap into this new territory? Remarkably for an outsider to the Deaf community, he later had profound effects on it. This article reexamines Stokoe's own personal development-and the value of a curious and determined man who asks the right questions rather than just accepting assumptions about how Deaf people communicate.
